  • pradavital chris (@pradavital) reported

    overwatch servers down?

  • X22ow Xavier Diaz (@X22ow) reported

    Honestly I wouldn’t be upset if they just took overwatch offline for like a full day and just spent the whole day fixing these issues. For me one full day of being offline is better than just nightly emergency fixes

  • aliikenobi ali 🤍 (@aliikenobi) reported

    @TJFsports @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch Because it’s blizzard it’s what there known for you watch I beg you all this stuff that are serious issues won’t be fixed till season 2 of overwatch 2 (if it makes it that far)

  • finchyeee finch (@finchyeee) reported

    @DarkAcesAngelo @PlayOverwatch im not insulting indie devs, i play alot of indie games myself and im a big supporter, but the point i was trying to make was that they dont always have the man-power/funding to fix their games quickly, like AAA rating games like overwatch (should) do

  • SACHM1S SACHM1S (@SACHM1S) reported

    @LittleL88731195 yeah ngl i absolutely love overwatch but this launch has been kinda terrible :/ im sure theyre working really hard to fix it and hopefully they do but its just been such a bad experience for new players :( i hope it doesnt put too many people off

  • Absentstats Kyth (@Absentstats) reported

    @BlizzardCS @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS not just Overwatch players having issues! WOTLK players also having issues joining instances.

  • GreasyStyle95 Jacob Schlehuber (@GreasyStyle95) reported

    @BlizzardCS I was able to put up with a lot because I love Overwatch but it’s every single day there’s some type of issue. Not only is this maybe the most expensive free to play game but it’s filled with all sorts of bugs and connection problems. I am close of being done with this game.

  • BloodhoundEhehe Yuki-darkmoon (@BloodhoundEhehe) reported

    @BlizzardCS overwatch 2 not working again who would have seen that happen 😒😒

  • WesleyH16368838 Roxas Red Hood (@WesleyH16368838) reported

    just uninstalled overwatch 2 for now, hopefully nothing even worse happens over time because overwatch 1 did have this issue before like three times during three different maintenances it had.

  • SWenerski Szymon Wenerski (@SWenerski) reported

    Looking at blizzard forums in the Overwatch 2 threads each patch fixes some things, and breaks even more things. But the worst part is matchmaking system that is utterly broken from top to bottom. This game is utter garbage from software/server side.

  • thatboygud Ushi (@thatboygud) reported

    Overwatch 2 had me in a let me check how much this battle pass is mood. Then boom error starting game constantly. I'll keep my money for now

  • _rafifk Rafif 👾 رفيف (@_rafifk) reported

    Overwatch really said "you have things to work on" and decided its time to crash the servers

  • iibvpr nodnarb (@iibvpr) reported

    @PlayOverwatch #Overwatch2 #Overwatch please fix your unstable game. Nobody can get into a match cause of an error even after restarting the game multiple times. I am done seeing "error starting game, trying again"

  • tukiiOW Tuki (@tukiiOW) reported

    @BuythedipsCat @BlizzardCSEU_EN Yah I can’t wait for overwatch 3 I heard it’s going to be 4v4 and there’s only gonna be one map and if you don’t win in 3mins the server will disconnect you and delete your account
